Originates from Southeast Asia.
Current status: Vulnerable
Did you know:
&They are also called Mainland Clouded Leopard to distinguish them from the Sunda Clouded Leopard.
&The hyoid bone of the Clouded Leopard is is ossified, making it possible for them to purr.
&Their hind limbs are longer than the front, to allow for increasing jumping and leaping abilities. Their ulna and radii are also not fused, contributing to a greater range of motion when climbing trees and stalking prey.
&They are solitary animals, known as rare, secretive, arboreal and nocturnal creatures of the dense forest.
&Their total population is estimated to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, ever decreasing. No single population s thought to number more than 1,000 individuals.
&The remaining forest areas are too small to ensure long-term persistence of Clouded Leopard populations, and they severely threatened by habitat loss due to large-scale deforestation. They are also the victiom of illegal pet trade and poaching; their bones, teeth and skin sold commersially.
